Description
Dispositif d'interconnexion à double peigne Double comb interconnection device
La présente invention est relative aux dispositifs d'interconnexion utilisés notamment et non exclusivement pour assurer l'interconnexion de bornes de raccordement et/ou de liaison disposées en ligne.The present invention relates to interconnection devices used in particular and not exclusively for ensuring the interconnection of connection and / or link terminals arranged in line.
Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un dispositif d'interconnexion comprenant un premier et un deuxième peignes d'interconnexion disposés en vis-à-vis et qui comportent chacun une barre de liaison, et des dents qui s'étendent sensiblement perpendiculairement à partir de la barre de liaison, le dispositif comprenant des dents élastiques et des dents rigides.More particularly, the invention relates to an interconnection device comprising a first and a second interconnection combs arranged facing each other and which each comprise a connecting bar, and teeth which extend substantially perpendicularly from the connecting bar, the device comprising elastic teeth and rigid teeth.
Ainsi, un tel dispositif d'interconnexion est utilisé pour relier plusieurs conducteurs électriques et les mettre au même potentiel. Plus particulièrement, ce dispositif permet de réaliser l'interconnexion de barrettes conductrices dans lesquelles sont réalisées des fentes destinées à recevoir chacune deux dents du dispositif situées en vis-à-vis.Thus, such an interconnection device is used to connect several electrical conductors and put them at the same potential. More particularly, this device allows the interconnection of conductive bars in which slots are made intended to each receive two teeth of the device located opposite.
De tels dispositifs sont notamment connus d'après le document EP-678 934 dans lesquels sont disposés en vis-à-vis deux peignes d'interconnexion. L'un de ces peignes comprend uniquement des dents rigides et l'autre peigne comprend uniquement des dents élastiques, les dents rigides étant réalisées dans un matériau électriquement conducteur pour assurer le passage du courant tandis que les dents élastiques étant réalisées en inox et possèdent une élasticité suffisante pour assurer un bon contact au niveau des dents rigides. Pour obtenir un bon effet ressort, les dents élastiques sont déformées de sorte que le dispositif d'interconnexion dans son ensemble est déséquilibré, il peut par exemple s'incliner sous l'effet des efforts élastiques agissant tous dans le même sens. De plus, étant donné que dans une paire de dents situées en vis-à-vis, une seule est conductrice, il se produit un effort de chauffe dû au passage du courant.Such devices are notably known from document EP-678 934 in which two interconnection combs are arranged opposite. One of these combs comprises only rigid teeth and the other comb comprises only elastic teeth, the rigid teeth being made of an electrically conductive material to ensure the passage of current while the elastic teeth being made of stainless steel and have a sufficient elasticity to ensure good contact at the level of rigid teeth. To obtain a good spring effect, the elastic teeth are deformed so that the interconnection device as a whole is unbalanced, it can for example tilt under the effect of the elastic forces all acting in the same direction. In addition, since in a pair of teeth located opposite, only one is conductive, there is a heating force due to the passage of current.
On connaît également, d'après le document DE-42 23 540, des dispositifs d'interconnexion qui comprennent deux peignes dont toutes les dents sont conductrices et sont élastiques. Même si ce dispositif présente l'avantage d'être équilibré puisque deux dents en vis-à-vis sont symétriques, aucune dent ne permet de reprendre les efforts élastiques exercés par les autres dents de sorte que ce dispositif subit de nombreuses contraintes. La présente invention a notamment pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients en fournissant un dispositif d'interconnexion qui soit équilibré tout en ayant une bonne conductivité électrique et ce, avec des moyens simples, efficaces et peu coûteux. A cet effet, selon l'invention, le dispositif d'interconnexion du type précité est essentiellement caractérisé en ce que les dents de chacun des premier et deuxième peignes sont alternativement rigides et élastiques, et en ce que les dents élastiques et les dents rigides du premier peigne sont situées respectivement en regard des dents rigides et des dents élastique du deuxième peigne.Also known from document DE-42 23 540 are interconnection devices which include two combs of which all the teeth are conductive and are elastic. Even if this device has the advantage of being balanced since two teeth facing each other are symmetrical, no tooth makes it possible to take up the elastic forces exerted by the other teeth so that this device is subjected to numerous stresses. The object of the present invention is in particular to remedy these drawbacks by providing an interconnection device which is balanced while having good electrical conductivity, with simple, effective and inexpensive means. To this end, according to the invention, the interconnection device of the aforementioned type is essentially characterized in that the teeth of each of the first and second combs are alternately rigid and elastic, and in that the elastic teeth and the rigid teeth of the first comb are located respectively opposite the rigid teeth and elastic teeth of the second comb.
Grâce à des dispositions, le dispositif d'interconnexion possède des paires de dents dans lesquelles l'une des dents est capable de reprendre les efforts élastiques de l'autre des dents tandis que chaque paire de dents exerce un effort élastique dont le sens est opposé à l'effort élastique exercé par la paire voisine. Le dispositif d'interconnexion est ainsi dans son ensemble équilibré.Thanks to arrangements, the interconnection device has pairs of teeth in which one of the teeth is able to take up the elastic forces of the other of the teeth while each pair of teeth exerts an elastic force whose direction is opposite to the elastic force exerted by the neighboring pair. The interconnection device is thus balanced as a whole.
Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, les dents des premier et deuxième peignes sont toutes réalisées dans un matériau électriquement conducteur. Ainsi, dans chaque paire de dents, l'une des dents ne subit pas une montée en température supérieure à l'autre des dents.In a preferred embodiment, the teeth of the first and second combs are all made of an electrically conductive material. Thus, in each pair of teeth, one of the teeth does not undergo a temperature rise greater than the other of the teeth.
De préférence, les dents élastiques comprennent chacune un tronçon de base et un tronçon d'extrémité qui forment entre eux un angle obtus.Preferably, the elastic teeth each comprise a base section and an end section which form an obtuse angle between them.
Encore de préférence, le tronçon de base forme un angle avec le plan dans lequel est inscrite la barre de liaison.More preferably, the basic section forms an angle with the plane in which the connecting bar is inscribed.
En variante, les dents élastiques comprennent chacune une dépression de faible longueur par rapport à la longueur des dents, qui est tournée à l'opposé de la dent rigide en regard et qui s'étend sur les tronçons de base et d'extrémité. Encore de manière préférée, les dents rigides sont de section transversale concave, dont la concavité est tournée vers la dent élastique en regard.As a variant, the elastic teeth each comprise a depression of short length relative to the length of the teeth, which is turned away from the rigid tooth opposite and which extends over the base and end sections. Still more preferably, the rigid teeth have a concave cross section, the concavity of which faces the elastic tooth opposite.
En variante, les dents élastiques et les dents rigides possèdent chacune des extrémités libres qui convergent vers la dent en regard. De préférence, les barres de liaison des premier et deuxième peignes sont venues de matière ensemble en étant repliées l'une sur l'autre. En variante, le premier et le deuxième peignes sont réalisés dans un matériau en alliage cuivreux.As a variant, the elastic teeth and the rigid teeth each have free ends which converge towards the opposite tooth. Preferably, the connecting bars of the first and second combs are integrally formed by being folded over one another. Alternatively, the first and second combs are made of a copper alloy material.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront au cours de la description suivante de l'une de ses formes de réalisation, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en regard des dessins joints sur lesquels :Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will appear during the following description of one of its embodiments, given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
La figure 1 est une vue en perspective du dispositif d'interconnexion selon la présente invention, prêt à être inséré dans des barrettes de liaison. La figure 2 est une vue en perspective partielle de l'un des peignes du dispositif d'interconnexion de la figure 1.Figure 1 is a perspective view of the interconnection device according to the present invention, ready to be inserted into connecting bars. FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view of one of the combs of the interconnection device of FIG. 1.

La figure 4 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne IV-IV de la figure 3. La figure 5 est une vue de dessus du dispositif d'interconnexion en cours de fabrication, avant que les deux peignes ne soient repliés l'un sur l'autre.Figure 4 is a sectional view along line IV-IV of Figure 3. Figure 5 is a top view of the interconnection device during manufacture, before the two combs are folded one on the 'other.
La figure 1 représente un dispositif d'interconnexion 1 ainsi que quatre barrettes de liaison 2 qui sont associées à une borne de raccordement et/ou de liaison, non représentée. Ces barrettes de liaison sont disposées en ligne, et comprennent chacune une fente 3 de forme sensiblement rectangulaire, s'étendant transversalement par rapport à la barrette. Les différentes fentes 3 sont alignées les unes avec les autres pour permettre la réalisation d'une interconnexion entre au moins deux barrettes de liaison 2. Le dispositif d'interconnexion 1 comprend un premier peigne d'interconnexion 5 et un deuxième peigne d'interconnexion 6 qui sont disposés en vis-à-vis. Chacun de ces deux peignes d'interconnexion 5, 6 possède une barre de liaison 8 encore appelée base du peigne. A partir de chacune de ces barres de liaison 8 s'étend un certain nombre de dents. Dans le cas présent, chaque peigne comprend dix dents qui s'étendent sensiblement perpendiculairement à partir de la barre de liaison 8 respective, et qui se répartissent en deux groupes de dents, d'une part, des dents élastiques 10 et, d'autre part, des dents rigides 11.FIG. 1 represents an interconnection device 1 as well as four connection bars 2 which are associated with a connection and / or connection terminal, not shown. These connecting bars are arranged in line, and each comprise a slot 3 of substantially rectangular shape, extending transversely relative to the bar. The different slots 3 are aligned with each other to allow the creation of an interconnection between at least two connecting bars 2. The interconnection device 1 comprises a first interconnection comb 5 and a second interconnection comb 6 which are arranged opposite. Each of these two interconnection combs 5, 6 has a connecting bar 8 also called base of the comb. From each of these connecting bars 8 extends a number of teeth. In the present case, each comb comprises ten teeth which extend substantially perpendicularly from the respective connecting bar 8, and which are divided into two groups of teeth, on the one hand, elastic teeth 10 and, on the other apart, rigid teeth 11.
Selon une caractéristique essentielle de la présente invention, dans chacun des premier 5 et deuxième 6 peignes d'interconnexion, la succession de dents comprend alternativement des dents élastiques 10 et des dents rigides 11. Chaque dent du premier peigne 5 est située en vis-à-vis d'une dent du deuxième peigne 6 et les dents élastiques 10 du premier peigne 5 sont décalées par rapport aux dents élastiques 10 du deuxième peigne 6, de sorte qu'une dent élastique 10 du premier peigne 5 est située en regard d'une dent rigide 11 du deuxième peigne 6.According to an essential characteristic of the present invention, in each of the first 5 and second 6 interconnection combs, the succession of teeth alternately comprises elastic teeth 10 and teeth rigid 11. Each tooth of the first comb 5 is located opposite a tooth of the second comb 6 and the elastic teeth 10 of the first comb 5 are offset relative to the elastic teeth 10 of the second comb 6, so that an elastic tooth 10 of the first comb 5 is located opposite a rigid tooth 11 of the second comb 6.
Ainsi, chaque paire de dents située en vis-à-vis comprend une dent élastique et une dent rigide, et dans la succession de paires de dents du dispositif d'interconnexion 1 , chaque paire est la symétrie miroir d'une paire voisine. Dans la présente forme d'exécution représentée aux figures, chaque dent élastique 10 et rigide 11 est de forme générale rectangulaire et est réalisée dans un matériau électriquement conducteur.Thus, each pair of teeth located opposite comprises an elastic tooth and a rigid tooth, and in the succession of pairs of teeth of the interconnection device 1, each pair is the mirror symmetry of a neighboring pair. In the present embodiment shown in the figures, each elastic and rigid tooth 10 is of generally rectangular shape and is made of an electrically conductive material.
Comme le représentent plus particulièrement les figures 2 à 4, chaque dent élastique 10 comprend un tronçon de base 12 situé du côté de la barre de liaison 8 et un tronçon d'extrémité 13 opposé, situé en avant dans le sens d'introduction de la dent dans l'une des barrettes de liaison 2. Le tronçon de base 12 forme avec le tronçon d'extrémité 13 un angle aigu, de sorte que la dent élastique 10 est déformable élastiquement perpendiculairement au plan du dispositif d'interconnexion 1. Pour améliorer cet effet élastique, le tronçon de base 12 forme un certain angle avec la barrette de liaison 8 qui le supporte, de sorte que ce tronçon de base 12 est incliné par rapport au plan du dispositif d'interconnexion 1. Chaque dent élastique 10 comprend en outre une dépression 14 qui s'étend à la fois sur le tronçon de base 12 et le tronçon d'extrémité 13. Cette dépression est de faible longueur par rapport à la longueur de la dent qui la supporte et est tournée à l'opposé de la dent rigide 11 située en regard. Cette dépression 14 est par exemple réalisée par emboutissage de la dent 10, et permet d'améliorer encore le contact avec la fente 3 de la barrette 2, dans laquelle la dent est destinée à être insérée. Les dents rigides 11 s'étendent sensiblement dans le plan défini par le peigne d'interconnexion 1 , en étant de section transversale de forme concave dont la concavité est tournée vers la dent élastique 10 située en regard. Cette forme concave s'étend quasiment sur toute la longueur de la dent et permet une bonne rigidité de la dent 11. Les dents élastiques 10 et les dents rigides 11 possèdent en outre chacune des extrémités libres 15, 16 situées aux extrémités de ces dents et qui convergent vers la dent en regard. Ces extrémités rabattues 15 et 16 permettent de faciliter l'insertion des dents dans les fentes 3 des barrettes de liaison 2.As shown more particularly in FIGS. 2 to 4, each elastic tooth 10 comprises a base section 12 located on the side of the connecting bar 8 and an opposite end section 13, located forward in the direction of introduction of the tooth in one of the connecting bars 2. The base section 12 forms with the end section 13 an acute angle, so that the elastic tooth 10 is elastically deformable perpendicular to the plane of the interconnection device 1. To improve this elastic effect, the base section 12 forms a certain angle with the connecting bar 8 which supports it, so that this base section 12 is inclined relative to the plane of the interconnection device 1. Each elastic tooth 10 comprises in addition to a depression 14 which extends both over the base section 12 and the end section 13. This depression is of short length relative to the length of the tooth which supports it and is turned opposite the rigid tooth 11 located opposite. This depression 14 is for example produced by stamping the tooth 10, and makes it possible to further improve the contact with the slot 3 of the bar 2, into which the tooth is intended to be inserted. The rigid teeth 11 extend substantially in the plane defined by the interconnection comb 1, being of cross section of concave shape, the concavity of which faces the elastic tooth 10 situated opposite. This concave shape extends almost over the entire length of the tooth and allows good rigidity of the tooth 11. The elastic teeth 10 and the rigid teeth 11 also each have free ends 15, 16 situated at the ends of these teeth and who converge on the opposite tooth. These folded ends 15 and 16 make it easier to insert the teeth into the slots 3 of the connecting bars 2.
Comme le montre plus particulièrement la figure 5, les premier peigne 5 et deuxième peigne 6 sont de préférence venus de matière ensemble au niveau de leurs barres de liaison respectives 8. Ainsi, l'ensemble du dispositif d'interconnexion 1 est réalisé à plat par découpe, emboutissage et pliage. Après découpe et emboutissage, les deux peignes 5 et 6 sont rabattus l'un sur l'autre par pliage au niveau de leurs barres de liaison 8. Le dispositif d'interconnexion 1 selon la présente invention apporte une grande amélioration à la technique existante en fournissant un peigne d'interconnexion dont la structure est équilibrée puisque les efforts exercés par chaque dent élastique dans une paire sont en sens opposé aux efforts de la dent élastique de la paire voisine. De plus, étant donné que l'ensemble du dispositif d'interconnexion est réalisé dans un alliage cuivreux, toutes les dents sont conductrices et il n'y a donc pas de montée en température de l'une des dents par rapport aux autres.As shown more particularly in FIG. 5, the first comb 5 and the second comb 6 are preferably integrally formed at their respective connecting bars 8. Thus, the whole of the interconnection device 1 is made flat by cutting, stamping and folding. After cutting and stamping, the two combs 5 and 6 are folded over one another by folding at their connecting bars 8. The interconnection device 1 according to the present invention provides a great improvement to the existing technique in providing an interconnection comb whose structure is balanced since the forces exerted by each elastic tooth in a pair are in the opposite direction to the forces of the elastic tooth of the neighboring pair. In addition, since the entire interconnection device is made of a copper alloy, all the teeth are conductive and there is therefore no rise in temperature of one of the teeth relative to the others.
Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution des deux peignes précédemment décrits à titre d'exemple, elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes. C'est ainsi notamment que le nombre de dents constitutives pourrait être de deux uniquement, sans que l'on sorte du cadre de la présente invention. As it goes without saying, the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of the two combs previously described by way of example, on the contrary it embraces all variants. Thus in particular that the number of constituent teeth could be only two, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
